Question

At a school for performance art students 25 of the girls study music, 35 of the girls study dance, and 16 of the girls study music and dance. What fraction of those who study music also study dance?

Answer 1

To get the total amount of students, you would add 25 and 35. You don't add the 16 because they take part in music and dance.

25+35=60

Out of 60 students, 16 study both dance and music.

16/60

Divide both sides by 4, the GCF.

16/4=4
60/4=15

Your answer would be 4/15. Hope this helps! :)
